<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">I installed LinuxMint 20 when it came out, and installed the latest updates when they were available. And everything worked fine, until about 2 months ago. After installing an update my login feature refused to work properly. This was after Russia invaded the Ukraine. And I thought, "Did Russia hack LinuxMint 20?" It seemed possible, after all, it is based upon a popular flavor of Linux used around the world. So what did was break out a copy of LinuxMint 17.3, reinstalled it, then downloaded LinuxMint 21, and everything is back to normal. In fact, I would say that my computer is running better now.<br></div><div><br></div>

<div>Two commands referenced are these:</div>

How can I find <br>

Sure, a wake-on-lan/ssh would be fine for this machine, but
I'll worry <br>
